ERA EHS Software

Pros: The online platform is great for accessing anywhere. Great online training tools provided but can purchase additional training as well.

Cons: Limitations on paying per document created for the less expensive options.

Overall: This was the perfect option to create these documents for our organization for price and ease of use.

Pros: Very customizable: content of each inspection, notifications, timing, etc. Integration with other modules we are planning on implementing (e.g., environmental, MOC tracking) seems to be very well planned in advance.

Cons: Some of it not intuitive and slightly confusing for completing each inspection. Seems to be overcome by training, and other parts were customized to make more simple per our requirements/request.

Overall: Product implementation team has been exceptionally responsive to our needs. Each time we have had a question, modification request, or customization issue, they have been very quick to respond in the right way. Seems to have gone quite smoothly.

Pros: Sarah has put together an excellent team of professionals who has been working with us for last 10+ years. As a specialty chemical manufacturer, we have unique requirements all the time. ERA-EHS and SDS team always come through for us in timely manner.

Cons: I look forward to see a semi-automated version of SDS generation method in multiple languages

Overall: Excellent Experience! Wonderful support team with timely response. Best wishes for 2026 and beyond!!

Pros: The support from real human beings is excellent. Arezoo has been particularly helpful with explanations and flexible with my busy schedule. I use the ERA service to make SDSs for my company's end products and it has been used reliably here by others for several years.

Cons: Nothing that I have seen in my usage has been bad.

Overall: ERA has been dependable and helpful for my company for several years. I know I can reach out to a real person who can help provide me answers whenever I need them.

Pros: Excellent customer service. Every time I need help or assistance with anything, ERA representatives are always very efficient in responding. They are readily available to answer emails or to set up meetings to make sure answers are provided.

Cons: Sometimes there are glitches in the system, and I constantly need help navigating and finding things due to slightly confusing system.

Overall: Overall, my experience is positive. I've worked mostly with Alexandra and she's very amazing at providing information and help to me and my team.

Pros: ease of use of the product and professionalism of staff are the two biggest pros for me at Vaughan-Bassett

Cons: None really but I do get a new person taking care of our account more often than I would like

Overall: overall, a very good experience. I have been told VB was the first customer and we have always been taken care of

Pros: Being able to reach a Tech Support person when I encounter an issue. There was always someone available to help if I had an issue.

Cons: Some of the more custom changes I need to make for my SDS's were a little difficult to achieve but, with repeated help from Tech Support, we were able to overcome these obstacles.

Overall: Overall, everyone at ERA has been very supportive. It took time for me to understand all the customizable options in the software and, truth be told, I probably will call on them more in the future.

Pros: The platform is extremely easy to use, even for beginners, and the support team is impressively responsive, offering fast, helpful assistance whenever needed.

Cons: Some intermittent bugs appear in the system, and although they are addressed, fixes can take a noticeable amount of time.

Overall: Overall, it’s a reliable and well-structured database that greatly supports NPRI work and simplifies the entire report-generation process.

Pros: Robustness, flexibility and reliability of the software, with strong data management and efficient report generation. Client support is highly professional and timely.

Cons: It may take a while to adjust to changes in the interfaces.

Overall: Reliable and flexible environmental software with strong data management, efficient reporting, and outstanding client support that is always professional and timely.

Pros: What I like about this software is that it is very user friendly and adaptive. One of the features I like to use is coping, editing and building new SDSs from pre-existing ones with similar chemical intermediates instead of starting to build the new one from the beginning.

Cons: I learned that it is pricey when compared to other software's in the market, but altogether it is worth it.

Overall: I have been using this software for the past three years, and it has been a great and simple tool to use.

Pros: Handles a lot of different calculations and easy to run different types of reports. Easy to update material data and input data. Lots of different capabilities.

Cons: Can be a bit confusing. There are tons of different ways to do things, hasn't been easy to figure out the import data function. System can be simple but also complex depending on how far you want to integrate things.

Overall: Great, does what I need it to in a fairly easy format/interface. This is a great program to mange environmental data and run reports specifically for what you need. Some of the interfaces can be complex, but with some training a lot can be learned.

Pros: ERA's system is easy to use with comprehensive details which are backed up by scientific research. The staff are incredibly helpful and talented, and always bring solutions to ensure our operational success.

Cons: I cannot report any cons with the ERA products. There is no reason for not considering ERA as a solution to your business needs.

Overall: My experience with ERA extends more than ten years and with their assistance we have customized templates which are professional in appearance and content. I rely on the staff at ERA, the system they have developed and their willingness to help when needed. ERA's system is reliable and always available when needed, and their thoughtful updates continue to increase the value I receive from having them as one of my most valued business partners. They provide much more than a software platform and have exceeded my expectations in every area required for us to remain compliant with various regulations and have provided me with the peace of mind that I made the right decision to work with them.

Pros: The ERA software package if very intuitive. The ERA team has made implementation easy and relatively stress free. They have been working hard to make our setup exactly what we want and what works best for us.

Cons: I honestly can't think of much if anything that would be a con. We are new users of the ERA suite, and are still implementing pieces. The biggest con has been the fact that we had not done this years earlier.

Overall: The ERA software is easy to use and does exactly what we need. The ERA team is very professional and creates a system that has led to significant time savings. Our experience with ERA has been great so far.

Pros: Exceptional customer service. Every individual I have had the pleasure of talking to has been prompt, cordial, and professional.

Cons: None. There is a learning curve to the program, but that is to be expected of every program.

Overall: This is the only SDS authoring program I have ever used so my opinion will be biased, but I believe it's the best out there and the individuals at ERA make it better.

Pros: This software is really nice. We use it in three different facilities for tracking of the paint logs and others. ERA employees who help with issues or uploading items make it really easy to use and answer or help with any questions.

Cons: Little bit of a learning curve to get it working on your user end. After that it is great.

Overall: Very good software to get if you are in the EHS field. Just make sure you pay attention to the employees when they are teaching you on how to use and upload items.

Pros: I love the support that we get when we have questions regarding reports. The software is user friendly as well.

Cons: I don't really have a Con for using the software. If I ever have a question, the staff is always there to support.

Overall: I feel really confident when using their software. Because I know if there was ever a question or Issue, someone is always there willing to help me.

Pros: The support really helped because otherwise i think it would be very difficult to use the program without any previous knowledge or technical support.

Cons: It's not something you can really use "intuitively" and there were some bugs, but the technical support promptly helped solve it. The feature i used (Tanks program), the meteorological characteristics are made only for USA, so if you're European you're going to have to use a similar state and not your country of interest.

Overall: Overall using the program was really helpful for the type of work i had to deliver to my client and it worked out in the end thanks to the teams' support!

Pros: I save hundreds of hours every year by using ERA modules. I also can rely on ERA expertise to replace very expensive consultants for doing major projects like revising SDS, developing training, and managing compliance deliverables.

Cons: I had to work closely with a dedicated support team to overcome deficiencies with the training LIMS. Now that everything has been fixed, it literally hums along in the background generating reminder emails and amazing KPI dashboards that I can show at regular meetings.

Overall: The modules will not replace a good EHS person, but will make a good EHS person much more efficient by taking over many of the time-wasting but necessary compliance tasks. It is also extremely good for generating documentation for inspectors.

Pros: I love that we don't have to calculate things manually and being able to upload the information we need in batches. It makes it less likely to make errors and have all the correct information for us to use. I used to spend hours manually entering things into our old program.

Cons: It's a lot to learn but worth it in the long run.

Overall: Once we learned everything I love this program. It is so much quicker to use than how we used to do it. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who uses this type of program.

Pros: We are a long time user and can say that it is a great product and their tech side provides great service. Recommended for SDS authoring.

Cons: Patch integrations can be disruptive at times, however are always quickly addressed.

Overall: The newest version is more difficult to navigate overall, although there is still learning to be done.
